Joan, I had this on William Gerard TUCKER.
Another one of my ancestors is Thomas GERRARD, who m. 3. Rose STURMAN, widow of John TUCKER.

Descendants of William Tucker

Generation No. 1

1. WILLIAM2 TUCKER (CAPT-WILLIAM1) was born Bet. 1623 - 1630 in Warwick, VA (now Newport News), and died in is he a bro of George, b. 1620 Warwick, Bermuda?. He married (1) ??? ?CHANDLER. He married (2) MARY STONE, daughter of WILLIAM STONE and VERLINDA GRAVES. She was born 1650, and died Bet. 1683 - 1687 in Charles Co., MD.

Notes for WILLIAM TUCKER:

In 1755 Capt. Wm. TUCKER'S son William, and John CHANDLER'S son, Robert, were in business together.

2. JOHN3 TUCKER (WILLIAM2, CAPT-WILLIAM1) was born Abt. 1643 in of Westmoreland Co, VA, and died May 1671 in Westmoreland Co., VA1. He married ROSANNA STURMAN Abt. 1660, daughter of THOMAS STURMAN and ANN PORTER. She was born Abt. 1642 in Westmoreland Co., VA, and died 1713 in Westmoreland Co., VA2.

Notes for ROSANNA STURMAN:

Colonial Virginians and Their Maryland Relatives by Norma Tucker states that Rose MAY be

the dau. of Thomas Sturman and the evidence is quite compelling. The March, 1708 Westmoreland Co. Ct. ordered John WHEELER to pay 400 pounds to Rosanna GERARD, proving that Rose's name was Rosanna, there is but one Rosanna among the Westmoreland families closely associated with Westmoreland Tuckers. That was Rosanna STURMAN, whose family came from Maryland to Northumberland to Westmoreland Co. And Rose and John gave power of attorney in Northumberland Co, 7 Aug 1667, to James CLAUGHTON. Therefore, this writer hypothesizes that Rose Tucker Gerard Newton was Rosanna STURMAN, daughter of Thomas and Ann (PORTER) STURMAN. Ann STURMAN'S 1654 will named daughter Rosanna, then in England. No last name appears in the will, so whether Rosanna were...["Colonial Virginians and Their Maryland Relatives," Tucker, Norma, Clearfield , Co., Inc. 1994, p. 35.)

April 24, 1674, Mrs. Rose Gerard, widow, made a deed in consideration of a marriage contracted

>between her eldest daughter Rose and William Fitzhugh.

7/8/1709: Deposition of Rose Newton, widow and relict of John Newton, the Elder late of

Kingstone upon Hull in the Kingdom of England, master and mariner, but late of the

County of Westmoreland. She swore that William Newton of Westmoreland was the eldest

son of John Newton and Mary of Stafford Co., deceased and that John Newton was the

eldest son of John Newton whose widow she was; similar depositions were given by Thomas

Newton, age 31 and by Benjamin Newton, age 40 sons of John Newton the Elder. The sons

added that John Newton the Elder brought his son John Newton with him to VA and Benjamin

Newton said that he knew Thomas Newton who lived in Hull, father of John Newton the

Elder (Colonial Virginians and Their Maryland Relatives, Tucker).

written 1 Dec. 1712 - probated January 28, 1712 - The will of Rose Newton, widow, was proved in Westmoreland County,.

She gave her son, Thomas Newton and the rest of her lands left her by her husband, Thomas Gerrard. Another account gives a son, William, besides the children mentioned below, who married Elizabeth (???) and left six minor children. This account also states that John died unmarried and intestate.

... - bly in England. IMMIGRATED: in 1694 as a free adult. RESIDED: in Kent County. MARRIED in 1697 after eloping with Rose Blakiston, daughter of John Tucker and wife Rose. She was the wife of Ebenezer Blakiston (1658-1709), nephew of Nehe- miah Blakiston (?-1693). Her sister was Sarah, who married William ...

Henry TUCKER was probably b. betw. 1682-1691 as he was in Talbot Co., MD in 1708, when he, John CLEMENTS, and Brigit BRYANT, witnessed the will of Thomas NOBLE. That this Henry is the same Henry, son of William Gerard TUCKER, and the same Henry who d. in Hampshire Co, VA is evidenced by the fact that proven sons of Henry TUCLER of Hampshire Co were born in Maryland, and by the fact that the name Henry did not appear among other Maryland TUCKER branches except that of Benjamin TUCKER, whose son Henry was proven to be a carpenter, not a medical doctor, as was Henry TUCKER, of Hampshire Co., VA.
